Dragoon Sentinel

The Mage Tower is the tallest building in Wenger City. The pure white cylindrical tower body is made of granite, reflecting the dazzling light in the sun.This is the place most frequented by travelers and adventurers from all over the continent, because through here they can reach all parts of the Recovery Land as quickly as possible. Of course, a small handling fee is required.

Norley and West came to this place again in Duke Wenger's carriage. The market scene they saw for the first time disappeared without a trace. Drowsy head behind the counter.

West didn't disturb her, and directly dropped two silver coins into the jar on the counter, and pulled Nole directly around the spiral staircase.Nuo Lei asked puzzledly: "Don't you need to wake up that mage, for example... Ask about the charging details?"

"The Mage Tower has always been like this," West said with amazement, "The silver coin I threw just now is the cost of using the portal. Come with me, the portal to Corunna is in the middle."

Norley followed in West's footsteps, and the young dragon who was inseparable from him was now happily eating "snacks" in the storage bag given by Duke Wenger, just to avoid the embarrassment of being discovered.

The two walked to the middle floor and stepped into the round arched stone door. Six portals appeared in front of them one by one. The height of each portal was roughly the same as the height of an adult man. They were suspended in mid-air, and the center of the energy source was faint. Chuo Chuo showed the appearance of the destination.And under the portal, a huge magic circle continuously provides energy for it, maintaining the stability of the portal.

West walked briskly to the second teleportation gate on the right, and waved to Nuo Lei: "Come on, let's go together." Nuo Lei was held by West and dragged to the door. The azure color was projected in front of his eyes through the mirror, he took a deep breath, and stepped into the portal.

It has to be said that the stability of the portal is much better than that of the scroll. Even though the teleportation distance is much longer, the symptoms of dizziness and discomfort are much less. When Nuo Lei regained his footing, he was stunned. Still in the mage tower?

Unlike the dazed Norley, West pulled him out excitedly, walked out of the mage tower, and another world suddenly appeared in front of him - Corunna.

Corunna is a seaside city. The coastal peninsula and some sea islands belong to the territory of Corunna. It is rich in seafood, pearls and corals, as well as various unique treasures hidden in the seabed.The people who live here have long-term sun exposure and their skin color is darker and close to brown. When they smile, they will show clean and shiny white teeth, and they look extraordinarily enthusiastic.

In addition to humans, the residents here also have elves.

The Corunna Peninsula faces the sea in the east and a vast virgin forest in the west. The elves blessed by nature were born here. They have beautiful ivory white skin, emerald green eyes, and pointed ears. Some elves There are also totem-like tattoos on the face and neck.

West told Norley that the elves with tattoos on their faces believe in Fryon, the god of the forest, while the elves without tattoos believe in Romansa, the god of light. Although they have different beliefs, they trust each other, and intermarriage is also possible Not affected.

Seeing these tall, good-looking elves walk by him, Norley couldn't help but follow them. On the one hand, he was pleasing to the eye, and on the other hand, he was still curious.

Seeing him admiring the elves intently, West couldn't help snorting coldly: "What's so good about it, except for the different shape of the ears, how can I be worse than them?"

The young master said this not because he was overly self-aware, but because he had a beauty that was not inferior to that of an elf. When he was a child, some traffickers even tried to abduct him and sell him as an elf for a high price.Even though there was an outstanding self beside him, Norley kept staring at the elf, which made West deeply dissatisfied.

Norley, who has lost his emotional intelligence, has no idea that West is sulking, but his frank answer is more attractive: "You are also very handsome, but I have never seen an elf, so I am somewhat curious."

West's expression turned pale, and he took a breath to remind him: "Be careful, elves have a straightforward temper, and some elves will think that your gaze is an offense, so be careful that they will beat you up if they disagree."

"Really?" Norley paused, "And what if they wink at you?"

"Are you messing around again?!"

"It's not me," Nuo Lei quickly clarified, "I mean that there are elves winking at you."

"..."

West followed Norley's gaze, and as expected, he saw several elves, both male and female, blinking at him frivolously. West grabbed Norey as a shield, and said impatiently , "Leave them alone, let's go."

"By the way, which direction is your home?" Norley asked.

"There is still a little distance. We need to go through the largest market in Corunna - Hahali. First, take a carriage to the market entrance and then walk through it. You can almost see my house." West, who is about to return home, concealed Unable to be excited, he dragged Nuo Lei to quicken his pace.Soon the two rented a carriage and headed towards Hali Bazaar.

The Hahali Bazaar is built along the coast. It is the best place for Corunna residents to buy supplies and exchange products. There are not only humans, elves, orcs, and dwarves here. It can be said that this is a paradise for free trade.

The carriage arrived at the southwestern entrance and exit of the Hali Bazaar after driving for a magic hour. West jumped out of the car first, and couldn't wait to drag Norley into the market.

The aisles in Hahali Bazaar are very narrow, and many vendors still have the habit of occupying the aisles, which makes the narrow aisles even more crowded. Customers walking among the shops are crowded with each other, and they have to be careful about their belongings , otherwise it is easy to get cheap by thieves.

Norley was deeply shocked again. The Hali Bazaar was bustling with people, even more lively than the business district of Wenger City. The daily necessities here are also very rich, such as crystal clear glassware, precious and exquisite gold jewelry, and people from far away The high-grade tea and spices... are not worse than those in the interstellar era. The only thing that makes him dissatisfied is that the noise is too loud, and it is easy to get a headache after staying for a long time.

Although his temples were throbbing slightly, Norley did not forget to cover his storage bag.West shuttled through the crowds, and introduced to him proudly: "Do you know that Hali Bazaar is the most famous bazaar in the entire Recovery Land, and businessmen of all races in the mainland like to set up stalls here, rich Some of them will also rent storefronts, and we can see those storefronts when we walk a little further. By the way, the owners of those storefronts like to hold auctions on the street. If you are interested, you can stop and watch."

Street auction?This is something new.In Nuo Lei's impression, the auction is a group of people in suits and leather shoes quietly sitting in their boxes, raising the price at any time with the touch of a button. He has never seen such a model in the street.

Norley became more and more curious, and couldn't help urging West to lead the way.Seeing his strong interest in the market, West added in a happy mood: "You are lucky, I know an elf shop, and they hold street auctions at this time of day every day, and the auctions are basically elf specialties, like some Magic potions, faith talismans, by the way, they also have an elf pet, very cute, my brother bought one for me before."

While talking, the two found that the crowd in front of them suddenly froze, and everyone was forced to stop and could not move forward. West was a little impatient, and asked the person in front, "What's going on, why didn't you leave?" ?”

"I don't care if I don't go ahead!" The person who was caught was also very rude, choking.

Norella caught West, who was about to get angry, and beckoned to release the peregrine falcon. The peregrine falcon flew past the crowd and flew to the front, hovering at the entrance of a shop called "Morning Twilight Boutique Auction". He got out of traffic and was arguing with the store owner for some reason. The store owner was a beautiful blue-haired elf with a butterfly-shaped totem around his neck.

Nuo Lei frowned, somehow felt that the group of people around the store was a bit strange, he looked back and asked, "West, is the store opened by the elf you know called 'Morning and Twilight Boutique Auction'?"

"That's right, it's him! Did something happen to him?"

"It seems to be." Nuo Lei looked at the crowded front, then looked at the booth ceilings on the left and right, and turned his head to ask, "Are these roofs strong?"

"Ah? The quality is okay, what's wrong?"

"Let's go from above."

"what?!"

Hundreds of meters away, the blue-haired elf boss stood angrily in front of his shop, pointed at the human in front of him and cursed: "I have been in Hali Bazaar for more than ten years! I have never seen such a mess like you!" guests!"

The human guest pointed at by the elf boss was ugly, and he would forget his appearance as soon as he turned around, but his tone was quite bad, and he said strangely: "Dear boss, this is your fault, I have already bought this at the reserve price. How can you make a slip of your tongue?"

"Reserve price? The reserve price of this lot is more than that! You guys tampered with the price!"

"Boss, who knows if what you're selling is a fake. The fakes are not even worth the price."

"Shut up! I've been doing business in Hali Bazaar until now, and I've never lied to a single customer!"

"But boss, aren't you deceiving customers right now? The reserve price was obviously set by you, and now someone wants to buy it, so you won't admit it."

"Yes, yes..." echoes echoed one after another, and they all assisted the customer in begging for the auction item.The blue-haired elf's face turned blue, and his eyes turned black for a while. Could it be that his reputation in Hali Bazaar will be ruined by this unknown person!At this moment, a voice came from the roof of the shop: "Get out of the way—"

West, who used the levitation technique, slowly floated down from the roof. He was dressed in a luxurious robe like an angel descending. The crowd around the store froze and retreated mechanically to make way for a small open space. The blond priest stood still. As soon as he landed firmly, the elf boss couldn't wait to rush up and hold his hand: "Bless the forest god! Young Master Eugene! You are here!"

West glanced at the crowd, frowned and asked, "Boss, what's going on?"

The elf boss said like pouring beans: "Little master, you don't know, today's auction started off fine, but when the finale was finally brought out, something went wrong. The people who had gathered at the door changed a group. That’s the guy! They won’t allow others to bid and get the lot at the reserve price, but that’s not the worst part.”

Boss Elf said heartbrokenly: "The reserve price of this finale product has been tampered with! Two zeros are missing! If I hand over this lot, I will lose everything!"

"What are you selling?"

Boss Elf paused for a moment, and replied sheepishly, "It's...Broridon's Heartfire Fragment."

"Bloridon?! That's a war hero, how can you sell a hero's relic?!" West stared round his eyes and asked angrily, "Where did you get it?"

"Now is not the time to investigate the origin of the lot, young master!" The elf owner said anxiously, "The origin of those guys is unknown, they cheated first, and I don't know what they will do when the item is in hand, you must help me!"

West is still angry, he is very disgusted with the way the elf boss handles the relics of human heroes, but in the end, the boss is just a fan of money, and the group of people in front of him is really strange, how did they know Boss Elf has this treasure in his hand, and what is their motive for setting up a trap?It can't be... It's to punish illegal profiteers, right?

Just when West couldn't make up his mind, the people around him began to yell again: "I said, boss, don't think it's a big deal to find someone from the Eugene family. What matters in business is reputation. If you don't hand over this lot to Me, that is breaking my trust!"

Just as the man finished speaking, a ray of light fell from the sky and hit him heavily.The speaker forgot to react, and stared straight at the scarlet dragon gun that appeared in front of him.Seeing the dragon gun, the elf's face was slightly distorted. West didn't pay attention at all, and raised his head intently and shouted: "Norley! What are the cats doing up there, come down!"

Nuo Lei jumped down, flexibly climbed over the signboard on the store, and landed on the ground as lightly as a dragonfly splashing on water. He glanced around at the people in front of him, and said word by word: "Guests, you are not human, are you?"

The author has something to say:

Why are you still so busy at the end of the year? It's unscientific.

Almost forgot to update, oh
